’Tis Dining Month, the tastiest time of year! This means we’re dishing up fun and fascinating food content throughout October. Dig in, Milwaukee! OnMilwaukee Dining Month is served up by Potawatomi Hotel & Casino and Wollersheim Winery & Distillery.

After just over a year of service, Dairyland Old Fashioned Custard and Hamburgers has made the decision to close their satellite location at the Central Waters Brewing Co. tap room at 1037 W. Juneau Ave.

“We were very grateful for the opportunity to partner with Central Waters as they made their debut in Milwaukee," notes Brent Fogle, who operates Dairyland with partners Joe McCormick, Kurt Fogle and Katie Fogle. 

"However, after much thought, we’ve made the very difficult decision to cease operations at the brewery effective this week. The shift will allow us to refocus our efforts on operations at 3rd Street Market Hall, ensuring that we continue to provide high quality service to our customers.” 

The Milwaukee taproom for Central Waters Brewing Co. will continue operations as usual.

In the meantime, burger lovers on the hunt for Dairyland's burgers, chicken sandwiches and frozen custard can satiate their cravings at the Dairyland Old Fashioned Custard and Hamburgers location at 3rd Street Market Hall, 275 W. Wisconsin Ave.
